Chapter 44 Hosting the Talent Show

Unbeknownst to Tong Tongyue, her unintentional display of arrogance and disdain provoked Dai Jiashi, causing Dai Jiashi to develop a negative impression of Tong Tongyue.

Dai Jia thought to herself, "Your Tong family is nothing more than the emperor's maternal clan. In terms of merit, you are not as good as our Dai Jia clan. What is there to be proud of?" That arrogant attitude made Dai Jia extremely unhappy.

This displeasure inevitably showed itself. Tong Tongyue was thinking, "I'm not even going to argue with you, but you're the one who provoked me first. Don't you take me seriously?"

Then things started to get messy between the two of them!

Because of the strict rules in the palace, and because Yunrong was afraid of getting into trouble, the selection of concubines was kept under even tighter surveillance! The two dared not cause any trouble, but they could not avoid arguing from time to time!

Bai Guo and Granny Chang Yin were in charge of this selection. Bai Guo was not very old, so she was inevitably a bit lively. She was naturally interested in the affairs between the young ladies and found out a lot of things!

Bai Guo smiled and said to Yun Rong, "Master, you didn't see it, but Tong Gege and Dai Jia Gege have been at odds lately, it's quite a scene. But it's not surprising, they are both outstanding. Dai Jia Gege thinks that Tong Gege looks down on her and is just pretending to be high-minded, while Tong Gege thinks that Dai Jia Gege is not presentable and she really looks down on her. No wonder they can't get along!"

Yunrong listened for a moment but didn't take it to heart: "Keep an eye on things, just in case anything happens."

Bai Guo smiled and said, "This servant understands."

It wasn't that Yunrong didn't care; Yinzhen had already promised that no one would enter the palace, so Yunrong trusted him. As for the ladies who had kept their names on the list, she would talk to the Empress Dowager later and the two of them would discuss how to arrange it.

Consort Hui and Consort Rong are not exactly honest either. This selection of concubines is the first one since Yunrong became Empress. If anything goes wrong, the two of them might be able to benefit from it.

Moreover, both of them thought highly of Daijia, after all, she was beautiful.
